Thread revival, because I can!

A year later, hard to believe... But I finally have some things straightened out. Was able to sell my Cadillac a few months ago, which I still miss at times but it's for the better. Long story short I had started looking at finally buying a Little Phatty, only to my surprise there's going to be a NEW Moog synth. Of course that synth is the Sub Phatty. Amount of keys aside, I like the Sub more than the Little from what I've seen in videos. Though if I decide on the Sub I may give it a few months for any bugs to be worked out, that and to wait for used ones to start popping up for a good bit less than list price. I've seen the Little Phatty sell as low as $700 here recently, so that's always still an option. Really it comes down to keys vs noise and the new multi-drive. Though the pretty much all hands on approach on the Sub is great too. If only the Sub had 37 keys, then it'd be definitive. :P

I'd wait a year before buying the sub for bugs to be worked out.

Ehh, I suppose it won't kill me. That or if they follow the Little Phatty and drop to almost half the retail price sooner I'll go ahead and get one. I need a ladder filter in my life. :P

I really need to stop reading old articles on SoundOnSound and the internet in general. So after doing such I've added the Studio Electronics SE-1 and the Waldorf Pulse to the Sub and Little Phatty as possibilities. From what I've read the SE-1 would be the way to go as it has discrete oscillators, filters, and amplifiers. That and it's a clone of the original Mini. Legend even has it that Bob Moog himself helped in supervising the development of the SE-1. I'm not expecting it to sound identical, but just have the Moog sound. Seeing as that the filter is a copy of the original ladder filter it should do the job. Hell, if Moog themselves were to re-release the MiniMoog D it wouldn't sound exactly the same. The best part is that being a rack it'll fit into my current space requirements. That and all of the modulation offered... Which was another plus about the Pulse... Maybe I'm just over thinking things again...

I have a Moog Voyager XL and every Mooger except the phaser
I can say without question I will never get to the bottom of sonic possibility this set up provides and I don't think even modulars quit do the same Moog thing what ever that is.

Here is a suggestion buy a Freqbox and a MF101 filter both can be purchased reasonably used off ebay
what you have purchased is a very full featured Moog wave shaping Oscillator and and a very capable Moog ladder filter
And just start running stuff through this combo experamenting.

I suppose you can get a slim phatty for close to the same price though I personally find the
Freqbox / Filter combo fascinating for experimenting with plenty of patching knob twisting
Voyager XL, Minitaur,Theremen+, Fooger's, Midi delay and Midi murf, Freq box X 2, Ring mod, 101 Filter, Novation ultra station, ZR 76, MC808, Bent Casio's, 3 Speak and Spell's , M audio black box,Korg Monotribe, Ipad's with Animoog, Filtron on and on..

Really wanting an actual synth. I had forgot about the filter box and all though... That's ok, trying to decide on what I need to do as far as my configuration goes. Too much stuff in one space. :P

There's a reason that the DSI instruments are a lot cheaper than Moog instruments.

You get what you pay for...

I've heard good things about DSI build quality, and they're still made over here in the States. Though they do cut corners on some things like using external power supplies. I'm wanting a Moog or Moog clone though, such as the SE-1. Ever since I first got started with synthesizers some time ago I've always wanted a Moog. I don't know, always seemed like there was something magical about them.
